What we’re learning this week:

As we turn the corner to the back half of the book of Ephesians by entering in to chapter 4, 5, & 6 our focus changes. In the first three chapters our attention is upon the spiritual blessing be have in Christ. But starting in chapter 4 our focus shift towards instructions towards right Christian living. Within tonight’s message Paul will show us the things we do are “because of” the love he has shown to us, not “for” or to earn his love and acceptance.

Bottom Line: What do you need to start doing?
Scripture: Ephesians 4:20-30

Small Group Time:

How would you describe the difference between living because of what God has already done for you and living to try and earn His approval?
After hearing the message, is there anything in your life you feel like God might be asking you to stop doing?
What’s something you think you could start doing instead—something that would help you follow Jesus more closely?
How can we help and encourage each other as we try to live more like Jesus this week?
